10:30 am
it's. welcome to watch the hard science i robot of the wall of. goodness man this is a monstrous monstrous mess they've got going on here it's pretty incredible how big is that. i mean it is it's the companies essentially bought into the you know the they describe them as official recruitment sites just to suck all these kids in there anybody looking to join it was started in twenty ten but you know you get this never was until twenty sixteen that a statement saying the government private sponsored web site was then added to the sites the websites actually stated the personal information would not be shared with anyone else but a basically they did share it with everybody else it's pretty incredible and then
10:31 am
some of we can go through the lists. that were used and you can see that some of them actually look pretty i mean they look somewhat i mean they look older but they definitely look legit to somebody because it's army dot com air force dot com army and lists dot com maybe enlist. in less coastguards and less dot com national guard and you get you get the picture airports on lists and then also army resign. so it's sort of this way of getting people's information and then it sort of is wrapped up and up by ago well we're doing it to be patriotic not to make a buck but we have to make them so yeah i was leading the companies big excuse right like oh you know guys go look prior to twenty apparently in a statement to gives moto it's like they actually did provide online recruiting services to our agencies for the military but it was to the. agencies they. didn't
10:32 am
even have a direct contract it appears with the military and so they were working for a way out agencies where the contract but then those out agencies due to budget cuts essentially like lost the gig and so then some key got cut out of ninety percent of their revenue and sort of make up for this last night b. percent they decided well we've got the information resource for kids that know more about recruitment we'll just start selling their information to private schools will give them a call list a bunch of schools out if they're interested then we can go get all the permission argument wasn't even known of the private schools actually had it got to deal with the military at all and the advertising sort of strange that these advertising agencies that i would assume since it's the reason they were doing it was no it was they were putting up ads probably recruitment ads for armine or as you often do so that's where they were making all of this money but. it seems that they were charged with violating the federal trade commission acts as well as the federal
10:33 am
trade commission's telemarketing sales through roll and there was these two poseidon key publishing had been reached a settlement with the government and they didn't have to give back but their whole side of it was they didn't have to give back the eleven measured million because they had no ability to pay it which means they just spent it so they took eleven million dollars under these very strange false precess protests and of course a lot of these aren't just you know they're not i just you know when you're run of the mill private school these are charter schools these are these for profit so for profit places that are definitely looking because i'll tell you you have no you don't need another web site to find it's pretty easy to find a recruiter to get it i don't think it's nobody's calling anybody back from the marines so they need another email you know i mean another website in case they can't get through on the actual i want to. get a statement. to declare quote some. hard to find
10:34 am
a replacement revenue source of troops contracts with military officers and use for the military budget cuts as a result some key began to expand its existing call center up bridges to provide potential recruits with the option of hearing about potential military friendly schools the option to go public some of the they coming to the lunchroom between pretty soft war and senior year and try to get you to join trust me again unnecessary. so one of the stories that came up over the weekend was following more than two decades at the helm of c.b.s. as chief executive officer and fifteen years as chairman of the board les moonves is out and he has the very me to movement he touted and supported twenty seven thousand to thank for it in july of this year the new yorker magazine published a piece by journalist ronan farrow in which six women accused moonves of sexual abuse and intimidation only denied any wrongdoing in
10:35 am
a statement to the press at the time saying quote i recognize that there were times decades ago when i may have made some women uncomfortable by making advances those were mistakes and i regret them immensely and quote in addition he claimed that he had quote never misused his position to harm or hinder anyone's career the board of c.b. of the c.b.s. corporation began an investigation and as of this weekend they were negotiating moonves separation from the company which reported over twenty billion dollars in assets and twenty seventeen this weekend and another exposé by pharaoh in the new yorker it was reported that six additional women have accused of sexual harassment of or assault it took only three hours three hours from the publication of these new claims for the media to report that les moonves would step down and that his golden parachute was being reconsider a pending another investigation and investigation that will determine if the accusations again move against moonves. which included exposing himself without
10:36 am
permission sexual assault and the use of violence and extortion to keep his victims silent but many wonder if the board is serious about. punishing moonves for violating the most basic of company policies when it was announced monday that he will remain at the company for two years to help with the transition moonves will receive his own office support staff and security detail c.b.s. has said it will donate twenty million dollars of members one hundred twenty million dollars golden parachute to various me to charity les moonves being a super predator of women and a destroyer of their careers was hardly a huge secret but is losing twenty out of one hundred twenty million dollars really enough to deter other high profile executives from rolling the dice on sexual harassment or is it time corporate america started punishing the predators for a once in the only place they seem to really care about their wallets. man i
10:37 am
wish i wish because there's seems like this is ridiculous twenty million dollars is what is given you know i mean do you think of no i mean i am tired of the golden parachute right i mean and so i mean twenty million dollars should be true you know groups are fighting for this for me too and all of it is is a lot of money but for a guy like les moonves who has made probably would close to a billion lives were in his whole career the just be way more money than twenty million dollars i mean the hundred twenty million his owed by his contract will be put in escrow pending the end results of the investigation even if he never sees that money moves made over six hundred fifty million dollars working for c.b.s. since two thousand and six he's a net worth of over seven hundred million dollars you know and you know it's like you know you've told me about you know look at the what people have to go through when they're victims of this kind of thing you know regular psychological therapy and treatment for survivors of sexual assault causing this. fifteen to twenty five
10:38 am
thousand dollars every year often out of their own pocket you know and not comes out to about three hundred thousand dollars over a twenty year period at all this guy can cough up with for the average person all the good coughed up is twenty golden parachute and he's not even paying for it c.b.s. this morning c.b.s. is simply taking it out of the money that they may legally be obligated unless they can find a way that they're not legally obligated and the idea is that well if he gets one hundred twenty to charity but it's not les moonves there's not going to have the money. it's a very different thing and goes the other big question is you know what does this hurt the shareholders does anyone get hurt in this apart from west of the victims oh well i mean. you know i mean no essential you know really it's just the victims the companies get money they get money everybody gets money it doesn't really matter it doesn't matter it really just there is a point where it's just you know he's a liability but it's the he still made them
10:39 am
a lot of money and they'll make more money because whatever it is it true that like you told me earlier that you're actually going to stay on. it will stay on for up to two years as a transition to help with the transition he gets in office he gets probably women he will abuse and then he also gets a security detail because someone has to explain to him about you know i guess the casting couch and how to use women and get away with and how to make sure you get enough money but you know so unless the investigation proves that they he really did like originally i think this was what they're saying is that you know it was a voluntary he's saying look step down now before we have to go any further and we'll figure this out but now i guess if they if you know it's like they've been barrister if it is embarrassed the company my thought is he's probably there going through it again and if they find anything else no they won't give him one hundred million and they'll probably put the guy's got. six hundred fifteen million dollars
10:40 am
in his twenty three twenty four years at c.b.s. he's hardly is not going to go broke but we'll see i mean it's like twenty million is like a summer all of these people love the end of the day and you know ultimately really we hope that somebody else on the best of john this to somebody will learn from this because they're not going to learn it but keep going to have it all golden parachutes. all right as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics are covered up facebook and twitter. dot com coming up author dan koeppel what joins us to discuss reports that there's talk of a u.s. backed coup in venezuela so we've got to stay tuned for that still want to miss the state to watch me.
10:41 am
what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. you somehow want. to go on to be right this is like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. city. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to. the demonstrations going from be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lloyd i mean you know liz put me in the.
10:42 am
let me go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. future story of u.s. foreign policy is most often found when you read between the lines at official denials especially when navigating the tamal choice history between the united states and venezuela which is why one always needs to pay attention when small blurbs and innocuous official denials turn into full blown headlines back in may part of that the state department rejected accusations by venezuelan president nicolas maduro the two top u.s. diplomats were engaged in what we called a military conspiracy and now just four months later the new york times is
10:43 am
reporting that the trump administration held secret meetings with rebellious military officers from venezuela over the last year to discuss their plans to overthrow president nicolas maduro so which is it the u.s. state department because you can't have it both ways but here to discuss and try to make sense of it is the recent revelations regarding u.s. foreign policy venezuela's human rights attorney and author of the forthcoming book the plot to control the world how the u.s. spent billions to change the outcome of elections around the world welcome dan koval it welcome back to am thank you thank you always a pleasure to have you on know your research and studies. how often does the. later become reluctant to acknowledge move when it comes to u.s. foreign policy in venezuela and other countries in the region. almost invariably i mean it's just a classic case if you go down the line often. u.s.
10:44 am
will say oh we had nothing to do with a coup attempt to kill you and yet maybe twenty five years later when they have to release documents although admit we were involved in the coup will never do it again and of course they do it again so for example in the case of venezuela we know that the u.s. backed the coup against chavez in two thousand and two which was successful for at least a couple days when chavez was kidnapped by military some rogue military officers taken to an island and finally brought back actually on easter sunday due to street protests so this is really very much in line with general u.s. foreign policy oh damn oh yes and there's a lot of people at home who aren't familiar with. how this sort of clandestine policy works so you know is this kind of fomenting a military coup typical of u.s. foreign policy a specially in south america particularly in venice way where we're talking about
10:45 am
right now is this common. why absolutely i mean the u.s. if we focus on latin america itself has been very deeply involved in coups since the one nine hundred fifty four coup in guatemala with which in which the cia overthrew a democratically elected president this led to a series of military juntas which killed approximately two hundred thousand people mostly mayan indians in what is now generally regarded as genocide and again the cia initially. rejected claims that it was involved but has subsequently admitted it was involved in that coup and you can go down the line the cia supported a coup in brazil in one nine hundred sixty four the us supported the coup very violent and tragic two against salvador allende in one nine hundred seventy three you can go down the line this is been standing operating procedure of. the united
10:46 am
states certainly since world war two and even before that in the case of venezuela . recently as many people know the president nicolas maduro barely escaped in assassination attempt by bombs that were. thrown against him by drones and the immediate reaction of the media worldwide you could check this out was to say he was a victim of an alleged assassination plot they wouldn't even given the credit for being the victim of a sas anation attempt even though you can watch the videos where it's very clear what happened and it's very clear that those that attempt which was done by rogue military officers was certainly encouraged by these meetings with president trump. and again the u.s. will deny this but it's very clear the u.s. has been encouraging conceivable so first of all president trump threatened the
10:47 am
main opposition candidate that he would be sanctioned if he even ran for election in y. because the u.s. knew he would lose and wanted to just steal a jim eyes the entire election process so that was one thing meanwhile trump threatened the venezuelan people that if they elected nicolas maduro in the elections the u.s. would increase sanctions against venezuela which it did including possibly cutting off venezuelan oil imports to the u.s. which would devastate venezuela and again trump threatened possible military intervention if they voted for nicolas maduro there is no greater intervention or meddling and then an election in this this is a form of extortion against an entire people saying that we're going to sanction you or possibly invade you if you don't vote vote the right way there can be no
10:48 am
greater form of intervention in this and you have to study recently you know we're in venezuela and observing the elections what do you feel is the biggest misconception about the country and its government that is being preyed upon by u.s. politicians and the forces of so you can regime change regime change there. why i think there's a number of misconceptions i mean one is that there's a you know huge claim that somehow the government doesn't have popular support when it does in fact have that. you know nicolas maduro ran for office earlier this year he received sixty seven percent of the popular vote. nearly fifty percent of the population voted in that election showing that he has sizable support in that country moreover it's very clear to me that contrary to what we're being told by the mainstream press the venezuelan government is doing
10:49 am
what it can to help the people of its country to improve the economy against great odds in those odds have been created by the u.s. in these very devastating sanctions and again this is a very classic formula the us has used time and again and again if we look at what they did to chile in one thousand nine hundred seventy three it's very similar to what they're doing to venezuela now and that is through sanctions they're creating an economic crisis blaming the venezuelan government for that crisis the u.s. has created and hoping that the people where they are for turn against their own government well by and large that hasn't happened by and large venezuela still has the support of them that is weighing on people they've just initiated currency changes to try to deal with inflation there i think they're doing the best they can with a very difficult hand that the u.s. has dealt them very quickly do not only go by the minute love but what where do you
10:50 am
what converters way would do to prevent this is this a case of why does of no other country need to kind of come in and back them up so they can kind of get rid of this amount of meddling from the u.s. side like what can they do to thwart those kind of meddling and let the his way when people pick their own power. why i think they've done what they've needed to do and that is to reach out to china to reach out to russia they've started to move their oil say sales off the dollar and this sell it on the chinese currency essentially they are trying to totally transform their economy so they no longer have to realign the united states and therefore can't be. the way the u.s. is trying but that's a very difficult thing to do given that most of the imports or most of the exports venezuela relies on in terms of oil revenue are still going to the united states but they're slowly trying to change that. so that they can be immune from this sort
10:51 am
of pressure but you know the u.s. is a giant fish. in the pond of the western hemisphere out of it has been called what thank you so much always a pleasure having you with a great great great talking to thank you. thank you. and now for some truly depressing news for anyone on antidepressants word out of us truly is that researchers at the university of queensland have discovered that one of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants may actually be fueling the antibiotic resistant super bug crisis that is expected to kill ten million people a year by two thousand and fifty like i said depressing the researchers found that flux the teen otherwise known as as prozac or sarah from on the streets as an as in laboratory testing been found to possibly end dramatically helped bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics through mutation in fact researchers found using e-coli
10:52 am
the different concentrations of flex eighteen that the stronger the concentration of flux again the faster the bacteria mutated over time up to fifteen million fold compared to the control so while now read while we now sit depressed from our impending destruction from too many anti depressants here some kittens in a basket think you could. remember every one of them as world they are not told real love developed so i tell you all i love. over dirt and i'm top of the la land . my body told me that are belong with the board if my farts my mind was fine and then along with the girls. under the surgery starts to be a very popular. football person dr. i was born
